The thousandth bill is a favorite object for counterfeiting among counterfeiters. Despite the presence of security symbols applied to the banknote to complicate the counterfeiting process, the number of high-quality counterfeits with 4 or more authenticity signs is increasing every year. But it is quite possible to distinguish them with the naked eye upon careful examination of the bill.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a look at the watermarks. On a narrow white field in the light you can see the digital designation of the denomination of the bill, on the wide one - the portrait of Yaroslav the Wise. Counterfeiters can imitate them, but they will look very low-quality and will be monochromatic and darker than on a real banknote, where both darker paper compared to the general background and lighter areas are visible in the watermarks.
Step 2
Pay attention to the color-changing sign - the coat of arms of the city of Yaroslavl, which depicts a bear. Tilt or lift the bill. At the same time, the coat of arms should change color from crimson to green.
Step 3
Run your finger across the micro-perforated area under the emblem. Smooth holes without roughness distinguish a genuine thousandth bill. On the reverse side of the fake, after punching the holes, there are scraps.
Step 4
Find the special mark on the visually impaired bill. It is located at the bottom of the narrow white field and consists of three parallel stripes with a dot at the top. This sign is distinguished by increased relief, easily perceived by touch.
Step 5
Make sure that the inscription "Ticket of the Bank of Russia" also has a high relief. Check for the presence of a vertical security thread embedded in the paper at the number 1 in the denomination of the bill. It should be visible in the light. Separate red, light green and yellow-red fibers should also be distinguishable in different places of the bill.
Step 6
Take a close look at the vertical ornamental stripe located on the right side of the reverse side and on the left side of the front side. When viewing a banknote in light, the uncolored parts of this strip should be filled with the color that the elements of the strip located on its opposite side have.
